The best Indian restaurant in south shore. I ordered the Ghee roast biryani, roti & chettinadu chicken curry a few days ago & it was absolutely mind boggling. I am very grateful to the owner for his generosity. When there was Ganpati festival, he organized an event for all the Indians to celebrate & offered free food to a lot people. Thank you sir 🙏 I have been ordering from here & I hope a lot of people will enjoy the food too.

We went for dinner, very nice decor feeling a mid- century vibe. The welcome was immediate, we were greeted & given menus, the food choice is Southern Indian & we each ordered curry combo. The food was delicious & plentiful, service was quick & excellent.
We will be back.
We recently organized my friend's wedding reception at Swaad for about 45 guests, & it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was delicious, & every dish was full of authentic flavor.
The staff were incredibly supportive & accommodating with all our requests. They even set up a special chaat corner along with other Indian starters, which was a big hit among our guests. We had people from different nationalities attending, & the team thoughtfully kept the spice level medium as requested, making sure everyone could enjoy the meal comfortably.
One thing we truly appreciated was that there were no restrictions on decorations. We were able to decorate the venue in a traditional Assamese style, which made the celebration feel very personal & special.
Overall, everything was well organized, the service was smooth, & the food quality was excellent. I would highly recommend Swaad for group events (20-40 pax) & special occasions!
Ordering regularly take out the food quality & the taste has considerably decline
Under cooked naan butter chicken tastes anything except indian food
Pan cooked biryani what a shame
You guys you really miss it
Wow. This Indian restaurant is a gem. Even as take-out, the food was incredible. Rich spices, perfectly cooked dishes, & big portions. You can taste the care in every bite. Highly recommend!
My paneer biryani was delicious with just the right amount of pepper. The portions are large, too. The mango lassi was thick & rich. I would recommend this place to someone looking for good Indian food on the South Shore.
We hosted our baby shower at The Swaad Indian Restaurant, & the experience was truly wonderful from start to finish.
The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, & supportive throughout the event. They made sure everything ran smoothly & that our guests felt comfortable & well taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious - full of authentic flavors, beautifully prepared, & enjoyed by everyone, including guests who were trying Indian cuisine for the first time. Rasmalai was so delicious.
The space worked perfectly for a celebration like a baby shower, creating a warm & joyful atmosphere for such a special occasion. Many of our guests complimented both the food & the service, which says a lot.
Thank you to the entire team for helping us create such a memorable day for our family. Highly recommend this place not just for dining, but also for special events & celebrations.

Amazing indian dishes , wonderful explanation of the varied dishes with great detailings, Payal took great care of asking the chef for precisions, chic environment, soft music, kids friendly. We had a great service with payal
As a South Indian, the masala dosa was top-notch. The paneer biryani came with enough gravy for two people, & at $15, it was totally worth it-no extra gravy needed which saved us 15 more dollars.

I've been to Swaad many times with family. Their dishes have always been delicious & staffs have always been kind & helpful. We also had our daughter's 6 months & niece's birthday there. All the guests loved food & enjoyed the venue. It's one of the best place to have authentic Indian food with a soothing vibe in south shore.
Food was amazing, tried their'Special for the day' south Indian Vada & dosa which was very fresh & crisp. Flavours & aroma were great specially the butter chicken & their soup.
Only one thing was missing,'Sirka payaz' or might be little onion salad with the meal.
We had an amazing experience at this Indian restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, & served fresh. The service was excellent-everyone was friendly, attentive, & welcoming. The atmosphere was warm & enjoyable, making our visit even better.
Highly recommended! We will definitely be coming back.
